how to change BootX default startup?

Hi All:

I have successfully installed and troubleshooted
(shot?) both YDL 3 and 2.3... liking them pretty
much...only one nagging problem... on the 3.0
installation on my Beige G3/400MHz, 

when the machine boots up and switches from the happy
mac to the BootX panel, the default (bolded) button is
the MacOS, not the Linux button.  On the 2.3 machine
(an older 604e/200MHz PM7600), the opposite is true...
the default is set to Linux, so that if you let it sit
for 10 seconds or so... it automatically resumes the
bootup ...into the desired YDL.

Is there a way to set the default to boot into YDL
3.0?  As is, if I'm not there during that 10 second
startup window, it automatically goes into MacOS,
rather than Linux.  I've searched resources, and
haven't come up with a way to set the default startup
to Linux?

Help, anybody?

Thanks,

Dave Purdy
